In this paper we develop an efficient heuristic algorithm for the problem of scheduling n sequence-dependent jobs on a basic processor to minimize makespan. Efficient solution methods are already known for the sequence- independent case. But for the sequence-dependent case, this problem belongs to a set of strong NP-complete problems. We present a heuristic which is similar to shortest setup time heuristic but opportunity cost of setup time rather than shortest setup time is used for choosing next job. This heuristic algorithm has same computational complexity and worst case ratio as the shortest setup time heuristic. We used Wilcoxon signed rank test to show that our heuristic is superior to nearest setup time heuristic in term of average behavior.

최근 소셜 네트워크 서비스가 급속히 증가함에 따라 많은 기업들과 사용자들은 자신들의 정보가 더욱 빠르게 확산되길 바란다. 이러한 소셜 네트워크에서의 정보 확산을 연구하기 위하여 많은 알고리즘들이 제안되었는데 그중 대표적인 알고리즘은 그리디 알고리즘(Greedy Algorithm)과 휴리스틱 알고리즘(Heuristic Algorithm)이다. 하지만 그리디 알고리즘의 경우 복잡성으로 인하여 실제 소셜 네트워크에 사용이 제한적이며, 기존 휴리스틱 기반의 메시지 전파 기법의 경우 균일한 소셜 네트워크 환경을 고려하였기 때문에 현재 소셜 네트워크의 특성을 반영한 연구가 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 휴리스틱 알고리즘 기반의 정보 확산 확률과 노드 연결성을 고려한 정보 확산 능력 최대화 알고리즘을 제안하고, 실제 소셜 네트워크 데이터베이스를 이용하여 제안 알고리즘의 성능을 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존 알고리즘이 비해 더 많은 노드를 활성화 시킬 수 있어 정보 확산 능력을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 실시간 휴리스틱 탐색 알고리즘을 개발하고 이것을 기존의 mini-min lookahead 알고리즘과 비교하였다. 많은 실시간 휴리스틱 탐색의 접근 방법에서 종종 전체 문제를 몇 개의 부 문제로 문제를 분할한다. 본 연구에서는 분할된 부 문제에서 마감시간을 적용할 뿐만 아니라 전체 해를 구하는데 있어서도 마감시간을 적용하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실시간 휴리스틱 탐색 알고리즘으로 제안된 $RTA^{\ast}$, SARTS, DYNORA 등의 알고리즘들은 탐색에 필요한 시간의 예측을 휴리스틱 평가 함수로부터 얻기 때문에 휴리스틱 평가의 정확도가 그 알고리즘의 성능을 보장하게 된다. 그러나 실세계의 문제에서 정확한 휴리스틱 평가 함수를 구하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이므로 부 문제 공간에서의 탐색 상황을 반영한 마감시간을 적용할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 동적 마감시간 전략인 cut-off 방법을 사용하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Dolphin echolocation (DE) optimization algorithm is a recently developed meta-heuristic in which echolocation behavior of Dolphins is utilized for seeking a design space. The computational performance of meta-heuristic algorithms is highly dependent to its internal parameters. But the computational time of adjusting these parameters is usually extensive. The DE is an efficient optimization algorithm as it includes few internal parameters compared with other meta-heuristics. In the present paper a modified Dolphin echolocation (MDE) algorithm is proposed for optimization of steel frame structures. In the MDE the step locations are determined using one-dimensional chaotic maps and this improves the convergence behavior of the algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed MDE algorithm is illustrated in three benchmark steel frame optimization test examples. Results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed MDE algorithm in finding better solutions compared to standard DE and other existing algorithms.

In general, other conventional researches propose the fuzzy Petri net-based fuzzy reasoning algorithms based on the exhaustive search algorithms. If it can allow the certainty factors representing in the fuzzy production rules to use as the heuristic information, then it can allow the reasoning of rule-based systems to perform fuzzy reasoning in more effective manner. This paper presents a fuzzy Petri net(FPN) model to represent the fuzzy production rules of a rule-based system. Based on the fuzzy Petri net model, a weighted fuzzy reasoning algorithm is proposed to Perform the fuzzy reasoning automatically, This algorithm is more effective and more intelligent reasoning than other reasoning methods because it can perform fuzzy reasoning using the certainty factors which are provided by domain experts as heuristic information

This paper considers a 2-stage assembly flowshop scheduling problem where each job is completed by assembling multiple components. The problem has the objective measure of minimizing total completion time. The problem is shown to be NP-complete in the strong sense. Thus, we derive some solution properties and propose three heuristic algorithms. Also, a mixed-integer programming model is developed and used to generate a lower bound for evaluating the performance of proposed heuristics. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed heuristics are superior over those of previous research.

This paper considers an order scheduling model to minimize the total weighted tardiness of orders. Each order requires different types of products. Each type of product is manufactured on its dedicated machine specified in advance. The completion time of each order is represented by the time when all the products belonging to the order are completed. The objective of this paper is to find the optimal production schedule minimizing the total weighted tardiness of a finite number of orders. In the problem analysis, we first derive a powerful solution property to determine the sequence of two consecutive orders. Moreover, two lower bounds of objective are derived and tested along with the derived property within a branch-and-bound scheme. Two efficient heuristic algorithms are also developed. The overall performances of the proposed property, branch-and-bound and heuristic algorithms are evaluated through various numerical experiments.

In this paper, we consider a network optimization problem arising from the deployment of BcN access network. BcN convergence services requires that access networks satisfy QoS meausres. BcN services have two types of traffics : stream traffic and elastic traffic. Stream traffic uses blocking probability as a QoS measure, while elastic traffic uses delay factor as a QoS measure. Incorporating the QoS requirements, we formulate the problem as a nonlinear mixed-integer Programming model. The Proposed model seeks to find a minimum cost dimensioning solution, while satisfying the QoS requirement. We propose two local search heuristic algorithms for solving the problem, and develop a network design system that implements the developed heuristic algorithms. We demonstrate the computational efficacy of the proposed algorithm by solving a realistic network design problem.

Purpose - This study aims to predict the audit reports of listed companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange by using meta-heuristic algorithms. Research design, data, methodology - This applied research aims to predict auditors reports' using meta-heuristic methods (i.e., neural networks, the ANFIS, and a genetic algorithm). The sample includes all firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The research covers the seven years between 2005 and 2011. Results - The results show that the ANFIS model using fuzzy clustering and a least-squares back propagation algorithm has the best performance among the tested models, with an error rate of 4% for incorrect predictions and 96% for correct predictions. Conclusion - A decision tree was used with ten independent variables and one dependent variable the less important variables were removed, leaving only those variables with the greatest effect on auditor opinion (i.e., net-profit-to-sales ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, inventory turnover, collection period, and debt coverage ratio).
